In Singapore on a July Saturday, a man named Riad made three separate trips to an HDB flat to return a stranger's lost wallet — twice finding no one home, and once, finally, handing it back with every note still inside. He refused any reward. The story, shared on TikTok days later, spread not because it was extraordinary in its mechanics, but because it reminded a community that quiet integrity still moves through the world, unhurried and unannounced.
